I had a freak mishap the other day and am in need of a tt600 oil sump. I was loading the bike into the truck after a track day and sheared off the oil drain. not sure how, I loaded it as i had every other time I have ever loaded it, just this time she spewed her guts. it was so slippery i couldn't even tie the bike down normally. I had to put the tires in the corner of the bed of the truck and angle it that way so it didn't slide. It was a crazy day at the end of which I learned a new way to unload a bike. I rolled it down on the ramp and it started sliding to the side so I stopped. every time I rolled back it slid sideways. I tried to get to the other side of the bike and it slid to the edge of the ramp. I held the front break and the rear was at the edge but the front was a foot or so on my ramp. The rear slid off the ramp and pulled the front slowly with it, I held on to the bars and set the thing on the ground with only a few scratches from the ramp on the fairing. for a 3 foot drop I'd say that was good and I'm going to have to repaint the fairings anyway after the drain plug ripped a hole in it.
